    Welcome to Amjambo Time,
    the podcast where stories from Africa and its diasporas meet memory, resistance, and hope.I’m Éloge Willy Kaneza, journalist with Amjambo Africa.Today’s episode takes us to Portland, Maine, in November 2025, where art became testimony and music carried the weight of exile, survival, and faith.In a powerful reimagining of Handel’s Messiah, refugee artist and poet Nyamuon Nguany Machar, also known as Moon, brought the stage to life with Gospel Messiah—a fusion of gospel, spoken word, theater, and lived refugee experience.This is not just a performance.
    It is a story of displacement and belonging.
    A story of mothers, fathers, and children forced to carry home on their backs.
    A story of joy as resistance.In this episode, we listen to Moon’s voice—calm, fierce, and deeply human—as she explains how art becomes memory, advocacy, and healing.Stay with us.You’ve been listening to Amjambo Time,
    a production of Amjambo Africa.Today, we heard how Gospel Messiah transformed a classical Western oratorio into a living archive of refugee experience—where poetry breathes, gospel cries out, and survival becomes sacred.Nyamuon Machar reminds us that refugees are not statistics.
    They are storytellers.
    They are creators.
    They are witnesses of history.As Moon says, “Joy is a form of resistance.”
    And sometimes, choosing to survive—to protect one’s peace—is itself an act of courage.If this story moved you, share it.
    Talk about it.
    Let it travel beyond borders.I’m Éloge Willy Kaneza.
    Thank you for listening to Amjambo Time.Until next time—
    stay human, stay curious, and stay connected.

  • MAHORO PEACE ASSOCIATION

    MAHORO PEACE ASSOCIATION
    Dec 14 2025
    Today’s episode takes us deep into a crisis unfolding thousands of miles away in the high plateaus of South Kivu, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo — and into the streets of American cities where a diaspora is mobilizing with urgency.
    Before we hear from our guest, Douglas Gasore Kabunda, President of the Mahoro Peace Association, we take you first to Maine and Indiana, where the Banyamulenge community has been rallying to raise the alarm about what they describe as a deadly blockade imposed on their families in Minembwe.
    In Portland, Maine, under a biting winter cold, community leader Claude Rwaganje stood before protesters and told them why they had gathered — why parents brought their children, why elders walked slowly with signs in their hands, why they refused to remain silent while loved ones were trapped without food or medicine.
    And in Indiana, voices like Laurent Mwungura carried the same message: that what is happening in Minembwe is not a distant conflict but a humanitarian emergency requiring urgent international action — including from lawmakers in Washington.
    These demonstrations have become a collective cry for visibility, protection, and justice.
    And now, to understand the heart of this crisis — and why the diaspora is calling for U.S. intervention — we turn to someone who has been documenting the situation closely.
